Strategic Objective

To ensure that SayPro’s partnerships and human settlement projects are achieving measurable and impactful outcomes, we will develop a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). These KPIs will help us monitor and evaluate the progress and effectiveness of each partnership, guiding future decision-making and improving the overall quality of SayPro initiatives.

   • Data Sources: Project progress reports, site inspections, construction contractors.
2. Improvement in Living Conditions
   • Indicator: Percentage of households reporting improvement in living conditions post-relocation or project completion.
   • Target: At least 80% of relocated or newly housed residents report satisfaction with the new living conditions.
   • Measurement: Surveys, interviews, and community feedback mechanisms to assess factors such as access to clean water, sanitation, electricity, and overall quality of life.
   • Data Sources: Community surveys, feedback from local NGOs or settlement advocacy groups, post-occupancy evaluations.
3. Community Engagement Levels
   • Indicator: Number of community consultations and engagement activities held throughout the project lifecycle.
   • Target: Conduct at least 4 community engagement events (e.g., workshops, public forums, focus groups) per project to ensure continuous stakeholder involvement.

   • Data Sources: Event attendance logs, community feedback reports, consultation meeting notes.
4. Sustainability and Environmental Impact

   • Data Sources: Design and planning documents, sustainability reports, third-party audits of green building practices.
5. Economic and Job Creation Impact
   • Indicator: Number of local jobs created as a result of the partnership projects (both construction and long-term).

Implementation Plan

1. Baseline Data Collection: Collect baseline data on housing conditions, community needs, and local economic indicators before project implementation.
2. Continuous Monitoring: Set up a real-time monitoring system that allows for tracking the KPIs throughout the project lifecycle (e.g., dashboards, progress reports).
3. Data Collection Tools: Use surveys, interviews, focus groups, and field inspections to collect both quantitative and qualitative data.
4. Quarterly Reporting: Prepare quarterly impact reports that summarize KPI performance, highlight success stories, and address any challenges or deviations.
5. Partner Collaboration: Work closely with project partners to ensure accurate and timely data reporting, particularly for economic, environmental, and social impact indicators.

Evaluation and Feedback

• Internal Review: A quarterly review meeting to assess progress against the KPIs and adjust strategies as needed.
• External Evaluation: Engage with third-party evaluators for an unbiased assessment of the project’s impact, ensuring transparency and accountability.
• Stakeholder Feedback: Regularly gather feedback from community members and partners to gauge the effectiveness of the impact strategies.
